Nothing is added to our honey. The bees know better than I do what should be in honey! Our product has no preservatives or other additives. We sell it just the way the bees make it. Our honey is produced with care from wildflowers and trees that grow near our farm east of Dallas,Texas in Sunnyvale. Unlike the honey in most grocery stores our honey is unique. It is a local honey produced in the Dallas area that year. Not a foreign honey produced 10,000 miles away last year or the year before. Our honey comes directly from the bee hive to you.

Really the bees do most of the work for us. A new hive is filled with frames of foundation, called bees wax that has a hexagonal pattern pressed into it. If there is nectar from flowers available to the bees, they quickly draw out the honey comb in which they raise their young and store pollen and honey. The brood nest of a hive is at the bottom of the hive. This is called the brood chamber. The top section of a hive are called honey supers and there you will fine pure honey stored. The bees will warm and fan the honey in order to reduce the moisture content. When the cell filled the honey is ready, the cell is capped with a layer of wax. We leave the bees as much as we expect them to need through the winter and we harvest the rest. To extract the honey, we start by cutting the wax capping off the honeycomb with a hot knife. Next we load the frames into an extractor. This is a simple device that spins the frames inside a stainless steel chamber so that the honey flowers out of the cells and collects in the bottom. The extracted honey poured through a mesh that removes small pieces of wax, clumps of pollen, etc. Unlike what is done in large operations, our filters are not fine enough to filter individual grains of pollen (which are too small to be seen with the naked eye) because we believe that this pollen is an important part of the honey. As well, passing the honey through such fine filters requires heating it,which we believe damaged some of the delicate enzymes that are part of natural honey. We do not heat our honey as part of the extracting/filtering process.
